About This Item

With 258 lithographs by Lasteyrie after drawings by Feillet and Haincelin (22 folding, some coloured). Contemporary full calf, gilt border on upper and lower covers, gilt spines; some browning and foxing. Bookplates and small release stamps of the Library of Congress; a very good set with ownership signature, possibly of A[ristide] Monteiro, dated Nov. 1871, with a few pages in manuscript laid in.

First edition of one of the most important anatomical atlases published in the nineteenth century. The four volumes include the sections on osteology, myology, neurology and angiology. The plates were published in sections over many years, and the lithographs were printed by de Lasteyrie and Engelman, pioneers of the development of lithographic art in France. A fifth volume was published in 1831.

Cloquet (1790-1883), a French physician and surgeon, was clinical professor of surgery at the Faculté de Médecine at Paris. He is famous not only for this anatomical atlas, but also for his research resulting in the identification of "Cloquet's Canal," "Cloquet's Space," "Cloquet's Gland," and his early papers on hernias (see Dobson, Anatomical Eponyms, p. 47).

Garrison & Morton, 409; Eimas, Heirs of Hippocrates, 1470; Haskell Norman Catalogue, I, 490; Hahn & Dumaitre, 330, 334 (reproducing plate); Wellcome II, 360 (imperfect)
